With one of two exceptions all the foreigners and" na tires who have been living in loreban and in natire house on Geimates Island for the last three rooks have returned and rasemad business. The largkong and Shanghai Bank was the first big corporation to open and with the morenent of money again the stores have bunu deing a Lenys business. Provions to the bank the people were in a rather bad way a food was scursie and the resources of the province were severely tsud by the arrival of hundreds of antives from the interior, while the money, more necessary flau at any time before, was tied up îja the insinass Houses.

A few hundred etdiers lounge about the city. Leeping excetual order and living in church and avastamiento, apparently no private Lenses are being forcibly occupied. Gangs of men have been at work the past few days lovel ing of the tracks from the principal strester and repairing the roads, and in spite of the declarations to reprise to the Jast a landing of Amorfem troops, everything weus the attitude of porte.
